5 How to evaluate your use case before making a decision What applications do your users need to run? This is the fundamental step in understanding your use cases. Without an understanding of what applications are in use and how important they are to your users, you can't make rational decisions about delivery models. Do they lend themselves to being run remotely in the datacenter? There are many reasons that applications may not be good candidates for remote execution. Consider applications like CAD/CAM or multi-media applications that are heavily resource intensive. Can the application run in a Terminal Server environment? Does the application require administrative rights to run? Does it require some special hardware like a dongle or USB key? Does the user need to reboot the system or install drivers? Do users need to access the application from non-windows clients? What types of clients? Will the application ever need to be used from a client device with no network connection? Does the application need access to back-end data to be used? How much data? Do users need to start the application quickly from new devices? Does the application need to access data that's stored locally on the client device? Does the application need to integrate with other applications? Where are those other applications? Do you need to ensure that data stays off the client device? 5
